Serene Hills is a roughly 456-acre gated community in Lakeway, built around newer luxury construction on larger parcels than you’ll find in most of the surrounding area. It sits close to four area golf courses — The Hills of Lakeway, Falconhead, Barton Creek Resort, and Live Oak — and residents have access to hiking and biking trails at nearby Falconhead West Primitive Park, plus a resident-only pool.
Located just a short drive from downtown Austin, the neighborhood gives you the quiet of suburban Lakeway with easy access to the city.

Homes and schools
Homes in Serene Hills lean toward custom and semi-custom construction, with larger lots and views of the surrounding hills — some overlooking Lake Travis, depending on the section. The community is gated, which along with the newer construction is part of why it draws buyers who want more privacy than the older, established Lakeway neighborhoods offer.
Serene Hills is zoned to Lake Travis ISD, one of the top-ranked districts in the state — kids here typically attend Serene Hills Elementary, Lake Travis Middle School, and Lake Travis High School.
Golf is part of the draw for a lot of buyers in this pocket of Lakeway — Serene Hills sits within reach of four courses (The Hills of Lakeway, Falconhead, Barton Creek Resort, and Live Oak), so you don’t have to choose just one club to be near. Trail access at Falconhead West Primitive Park adds a non-golf option too, which matters if only one person in the household plays.
Comparing Serene Hills to other Lakeway communities
If you’re weighing Serene Hills against other gated options in Lakeway, I’d also look at Flintrock Falls and Rough Hollow — both offer a similar mix of newer construction and lake-country amenities, but with different price points and proximity to the water. For everything currently on the market across the city, I keep an updated Lakeway homes for sale page.
Given the price point and the gated, custom-build nature of Serene Hills, it’s worth getting your financing lined up before you tour — a quick buyer consultation is a good place to start. Reach out anytime — I’d be glad to show you what’s currently available in Serene Hills.
